 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile terminal comprises an auxiliary display area information storage 100, an input portion 200, a controller 300, and a display 400. Components of a typical mobile terminal, including a speaker, a microphone, a memory, a transmitter/receiver, etc., are not illustrated here.
The auxiliary display area information storage 100 stores information about an auxiliary display area. That is, it stores and manages information about the size of the auxiliary display area, its position in the overall display area of the mobile terminal, basic data represented in the auxiliary display area, and the positions of the presented basic data.
The input portion 200 transmits a control signal received through a keypad (not shown) or a signal received through a receiver (not shown) to the controller 300.
The controller 300 analyzes the received signal and reads corresponding auxiliary display area information from the auxiliary display area information storage 100. The controller 300 also controls the display 400 to display the auxiliary display area according to the auxiliary display area information. The display 400 displays the auxiliary display area on a screen (not shown) under the control of the controller 300.
The auxiliary display area is not a fixed area for displaying preset information therein but an area for displaying various types of information according to events, variable in at least one of size and position. A slip dialog component is preferably used to realize this variable auxiliary display area. The slip dialog component refers to an expanded dialog component including a command bar, which is opened upward.
More specifically, the mobile terminal displays all information except for its state information (e.g. reception sensitivity and battery state) and its operation information (e.g. background image, call time, and menu list) in the auxiliary display area. The mobile terminal sets the auxiliary display area depending on the characteristics of information to be displayed and displays it with corresponding information. For example, in the case of a short message or present time, the mobile terminal displays a different auxiliary display area with the short message or present time according to auxiliary display area information preset correspondingly for the information to be displayed.
FIG. 3 illustrates a management list 110 of auxiliary display area information stored in the storage 100 illustrated in FIG. 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, the management list 110 includes identification (ID) 111, overall size 112, displayed position 113, basic data 114, and basic data position 115.
The ID 111 identifies auxiliary display area information. For example, the ID 111 is set to 1 for auxiliary display area information related to a short message, and 2 for auxiliary display area information corresponding to present time. Therefore, the controller 300 illustrated in FIG. 2 identifies necessary auxiliary display area information by its ID. If the controller needs auxiliary display area information for a short message, it refers to auxiliary display area information with ID=1 in the management list 110. It is preferred that the controller knows the IDs of auxiliary display area information corresponding to information to be displayed in the auxiliary display area. The IDs are preferably provided to the controller when the management list 110 is generated, for example.
The overall size 112 indicates the size of the auxiliary display area in the overall display area of the mobile terminal and the displayed position 113 indicates the position of the auxiliary display area in the overall display area.
The basic data 114 is information that is displayed in the auxiliary display area, and the basic data position 115 indicates the positions of the basic data displayed in the auxiliary display area.
If “New Message!!!” is displayed in an upper portion of the auxiliary display area to alert a user to reception of a short message, “New Message!!!” corresponds to the basic data and the upper portion of the auxiliary display area is the basic data position information.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of displaying the auxiliary display area according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the controller 300 determines whether an event requiring display of an auxiliary display area has been generated through the input portion 200 in step S110. There may be several of such events depending on the functional capabilities of the mobile terminal. For example, the events include reception of a short message over a wireless network and a request for displaying present time by user key manipulation.
Upon generation of a particular event in step S110, the controller 300 analyzes the event, that is, determines the type of the event in step S120. In step S130, the controller 300 reads auxiliary display area information corresponding to the event type from the storage 100 and controls the display 400 to display the auxiliary display area according to the read information. That is, the controller 300 reads the auxiliary display area information corresponding to the generated event among stored auxiliary display area information for respective events and controls the display 400 according to the auxiliary display area information. In step S140, the display 400 displays the auxiliary display area with information related with the event.
FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate representations of the auxiliary display area according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5A illustrates a display of an auxiliary display area to alert a user to reception of a short message over a wireless network, and FIG. 5B illustrates another display of the auxiliary display area for time setting. In FIGS. 5A and 5B, reference numerals 10 a and 10 b denote state display areas, reference numerals 20 a and 20 b denote main display areas, and reference numerals 30 a and 30 b denote auxiliary display areas.
Referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the auxiliary display areas 30 a and 30 b are difference in size, position, and represented information. This implies that the utilization of the auxiliary display area can be increased.
In accordance with the present invention as described above, all information except for the state information (e.g. reception sensitivity and battery state) and operation information (e.g. background image, call time, and menu list) of a mobile terminal can be displayed in an auxiliary display area. The mobile terminal sets the auxiliary display area differently depending on the characteristics of information to be displayed and displays it with corresponding information. Therefore, the auxiliary display area can be used for various purposes.
While the present invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
